   PS. If you want to help us exist until then, you can always support us with a donation or patronage at https://small-tech.org/fund-us. It’s amazing to me that we just need the salary of one senior engineer at a Silicon Valley startup to be sustainable and we don’t even have that. Blows my mind.

   Folks: where’s the alternative to the trillion-dollar surveillance capitalists you’re working on? Why isn’t it ready yet?

   Also folks: Here’s your €457/mo war chest… don’t spend it all in one place now!

   (I can’t express how grateful I am to our patrons over the years but how the fuck do we compete when we live in a world where some random techbro raises $2.6M to build a people farming social network where you can only say “Yo!“ while we struggle to pay the rent?)

   Just got notice that RIPE NCC will not be funding the #SmallWeb. Not surprising, since we haven’t had a single successful funding application and I’m done wasting my time with this crap.

   small-web.org will launch as a commercial service (host your own Small Web place for ~€10/mo) and hopefully that will make Small Technology Foundation sustainable. Since everything we do is free and open, others will also be able to host Small Web places.

   Also, you can fund us directly: https://small-tech.org/fund-us
